pad clips

[Denisefwd93]

Found a bunch of threads on the topic. not found a photo (yet)

"Trust me I'm an engineer" doesn't apply to me.. I no longer trust myself on the little things.

So if someone has the right photo out of thousands that show pad clips please link it here? thanks!

Yes but looking for the photo of them on the pads
Going to look at tonight probably not rocket science lol

i dont have one but i can explain it. on the right clip in the picture, the flat spot with the tab that sticks in, goes onto the bottom of the brake pad, the tab that sticks in helps hold the clip on the pad. the part that swoops around and comes off at an angle compresses and puts pressure against the pad once installed.

i always put the bottom in first and push the pad down, then slide the top in.

if that makes sence, if not i can take a picture for you later.

I'll try to remember to get a photo tomorrow while putting my front end back together. I think I know what clips you're referring to.

It was a no brainier gents, there was one still clipped on one of the old brake pads. I learned more stuff today, the slide pins are " interesting" thanks for the help!

my first time installing them i probably spent 20 minutes spinning them around trying to figure it out!

Oh and the clip barely stays on the pad until it's in place.

bend that retaining tab in. mine are hard to get off after i did that. in fact they stay on the pad after being kicked all around the floor when i tear the hub assembly apart after wheeling.
